  • Publication number: 20240044788
    Abstract: According to a method for cavity enhanced microscopy, a sample is arranged on a sample carrier of an optical cavity, which is formed by a pair of opposing mirrors. A description defining a lateral motion of the sample during a predefined time interval and a variation of the cavity length during the time interval in a temporally synchronized manner is stored and an actuator system is triggered to move the sample carrier and/or at least one mirror of the pair of mirrors to effect the lateral motion of the sample with respect to the cavity and the variation of the cavity length according to the description. Light is introduced into the cavity and transmitted portions and/or reflected portions and/or scattered portions and/or emitted portions are detected to generate a sensor dataset.

  • Publication number: 20230265896
    Abstract: A shifting device (1) for the powertrain of a motor vehicle, including a control shaft (10) for adjusting a control element (9), the control shaft (10) has a first sub-section (15) which can be driven by an actuator (36) and a second sub-section (16) which is designed to adjust the control element (9). The first sub-section (15) is rotatably mounted relative to the second sub-section (16). A spring element (11), via which a torque of the first sub-section (15) can be transmitted to the second sub-section (16), is provided between the two sub-sections (15, 16).

  • Publication number: 20230145280
    Abstract: A shifting device for a drivetrain of a motor vehicle, includes a housing which a first and a second drive shaft are rotatably mounted. The first and second drive shafts are arranged coaxially to one another such that they have a common axis of rotation. The shifting device also includes a shiftable clutch device which is arranged between the first and the second drive shaft. The clutch device has an open shift position in which the first drive shaft is freely rotatable with respect to the second drive shaft, and the clutch device has a closed shift position in which the first drive shaft is connected non-rotatably by the clutch device to the second drive shaft. A control element is displaceable in the direction of the axis of rotation of the drive shafts and, depending on its displacement position, shifts the clutch device to the open or closed shift position.
